Versace and Capri Holdings named Dario Vitale, previously design and image director at Miu Miu, as Chief Creative Officer, effective April 1, 2025, making him the first person outside the Versace family to lead the house; Donatella Versace moved into a new Chief Brand Ambassador role.

Dario Vitale unveiled his debut Versace collection in an intimate event at Milan's Pinacoteca Ambrosiana during Milan Fashion Week, a full-throttle return to the overtly sexualized Versace of the 1980s and 1990s staged inside a stylised, lived-in palazzo rather than a traditional runway.

Versace announced that Dario Vitale would leave his role as creative director by mutual agreement, only months after his acclaimed September debut collection and shortly after Prada Group completed its acquisition of the house from Capri Holdings.

Versace confirmed Pieter Mulier, who had just left Alaïa as its creative director, as Dario Vitale's successor, ending the vacancy left by Vitale's December 2025 dismissal; his debut is expected in Fall 2027, and Versace is absent from the Milan SS27 calendar.
